prayer for protection and discernment

sermonindex Jan 23, 2017

Hey guys. I just written a lengthy story about my past few months and then it just deleted on me. I wont go into detail, but I just wanted to ask for prayer because I have been going through a very tormenting past few months especially at my new job at walmart which i became a manager, but had to step down because i started to change and get my mind off the Lord and also began to have really spiritual attacks which been very unbearable to the point where i have almost quit. I transferred to a closer walmart to see if things would get better. My wife and me even bought many vitamins and herbs to see if i have had a chemical imbalance and they did calm me down, but i found clearly that this is more than a medical condition. As I tokd you before a presence comes down on me trying to parlize my body. I will be perctly fine and then it will come down while im at work or at home. This has been going since the summer of 2015. You know with me it is always something. The thing that is frustrated me is figuring out what i have done wrong or why this happening, but I do think one of the reasons this presence has come down is because I started believing that the Lord was going to punish me for my bad thoughts and in believing that I started believing that for almost anything that did like if i went to a different church or got a new job or got angry that the Lord was going to punish me. I started realizing they were lies and I started walking in the truth that they werent from God, but they began to fight back in my mind trying to get me believe the lie and many times I have been overcome by them and just cant fight anymore and then when i try rebuking them in Jesus name they eventually seem to attack me back and things get worse. I have opened door by believing lies, but i can't seem to break them as much I pray, fast, walk in Gods word and apply his word, ask others to pray, examining myself confessing and repenting and commitng my heart to the Lord. It seems they wont leave and continue to torment me. It seems like it is a spirit trying to control me to be honest. I go to fellowship at a church on thursday nights and they been praying for me and I also first baptist church of Lockport and they all know about it to. Many people have been praying for me for years. Have i received some spirit or is this mental problems or wrong belief systems or is it because I been praying on behalf of others so much I don't know, but I do believe the Lord will deliver me. Your prayers our deeply needed because this has been very hard to get through. Please will you continue to lift me up in prayer and this heavy burden that is still upon me. Understand I dont want to bother people with this, but I know that when things have got as bad they have I know I need the prayers of the saints. We are the body of Christ and need to lift each other up and I need to do the same. Thank you from brother John Beechy

John, man I hear you.

Reading over your request twice, a few things stand out. Please take this as constructive suggestion and not criticism really.

Your words admit that you do not judge your own thoughts correctly. Someone might say of you --- correctly --- that you really don't know what you think.

You are a guy who lives in his own mind. You have a constant debate with yourself, in constant conflict with yourself. You, and I am trying to say this gently, lie to yourself and you believe what you are saying.

You have asked us to pray for you to discern. I pray you will silence your own thoughts. You have a lot of inner noise bouncing within your mind and conscious thoughts all the time. Most of us are able to dismiss so much of that, or we have learned to dismiss our own inward self talk as unreliable counsel. Maybe it comes with age or maturity and experience in Christ. But, so much of the things you admit saying to yourself or believing within your thoughts are just baloney. I am convinced you are at a point where you would like to escape that.

I do believe there is a growth in your life that is positive and good and right. There are some practical things you did, you engaged your wife in them, and you apparently did some critical analysis of your issues. Maybe you didn't make the best decisions, i.e., quitting your job over a battle of the mind. But, at least for myself, I see in your writing this time an awareness of others and the way your thought life battles impact them. That differs from past posts. I applaud it.

Stop listening to yourself. Dismiss every private thought that torments you or questions anything. In Jesus, His word to you is "Yes" and "Amen." 2 Cor. 1:20. When your mind is not in "yes and amen" but is in "oh no! and what is this? and I'm under attack and I can't move" --- just turn it off. Turn it off.

If the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet, the spirit of the John Beechy is subject to the John Beechy. You know? Start exercising control. You have authority in Christ over your thoughts. Begin to put your foot down, mentally, on your own runaway thoughts.

You may have a point when you ask if you have a mental problem. You do. We ALL DO. Not precisely yours, but we all suffer from thought life problems. You might need to get professional help with yours. There is no disgrace in it, brother, I will tell you myself. I don't know about you, John but I can't work on a car. I have relatives and friends who make me look like an idiot about a vehicle. They can drop a motor, change a head, rebuild an engine, rework a transmission and even fabricate their own parts. I have to have professional help on a new hose, right? No disgrace in it. Get help if you need it. Because right now you are self helping and you could use the guidance.

Hello Brother
AS i read your request this prayer comes to mind.
Father I lift up your son and I pray YOUR BLOOD cleanses His mind with your thoughts for HIM..Father I pray he is reminded of your word daily and that He casts down any spirit of imagination and brings His thoughts into obedience to you.
I bind His DNA to your DNA for HIM.. Plans to prosper HIM and thoughts of peace.. Father I pray for your peace and that He would breathe in your HOLY SPIRIT which will comfort Him and bring HIM peace. I pray He would breathe out any negative thoughts daily. I put on HIM the helmet of salvation, the shield of Faith the belt of Truth and his feet equipped with your Gospel of Peace. in Jesus name.
rev 12:11 2 cor 10 4-5-6 Eph 6.jer 29:11 PsA 139 13-14
Brother i say certain prayers daily to protect my mind. the enemy is a thief and that is how he attacks us in the mind..
I pray this helps. If not then go see someone GOD uses everyone to help us. I have learned self deliverance daily to not give the enemy a foothold AND TO PROTECT MYSELF..
U ALSO CAN SAY JESUS NAME SEVEN TIMES AND PROCLAIM THE VICTORY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS.. ..those neg spirits will flee jas 4:7
I hope this helps..
In Him

Hi John-

Please make an appointment with a physician (not a chiropractor but an MD) right away. You need to rule out physical problems that may be causing your symptoms.

Isa 54:11
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
Isa 54:12
And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
Isa 54:13
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isa 54:14
In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
Isa 54:15
Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
Isa 54:16
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
Isa 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD

Please Note verse 15 God never places blame, the enemies job is to come as a thief to kill steal and destroy, but Jesus has come to give us life I would memorize this scripture and especially verse 17 and force myself to quote it at your afflictions

Quote:"You know with me it is always something. The thing that is frustrated me is figuring out what i have done wrong or why this happening, but I do think "..... Isa 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.1Pe 5:7
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

You just need to understand that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, why than would he turn and condemn us for our flaws and punish us with torments for our short comings, He may chastise you but that ALWAYS bears the peaceful fruit, peace of mind peace of soul it always leads us in righteousness never in bondage and fear always in freedom and liberty in the Holy Spirit for whom the Son set free is free indeed.
